Presented herein are techniques to enable seamless mobility of hosts (endpoints) between disaggregated Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) domains that are connected with one another by an external network (e.g., a Wide-Area Network (WAN)). In one example, a leaf node in the first domain, which was previously connected to a host, receives updated routing information for the host. The leaf node performs a local host verification process to confirm that the host has moved and, in response to confirming that that the host has moved, the first leaf node sends a targeted host announcement message to the host in the second domain.
